She did it, she SMASHED it!! The goal was 400km, she did 410km. The combined team total was 706km. 🤜 Thats longer than the North Island Or from Auckland to Wellington and back up to Palmy. Well done team.

The team raised $829 and there is still time to donate. If mental health is important to you, help make it affordable for someone else. This is how we build strong, resiliant communities together. 🔗https://step-out-in-2026.raiselysite.com/

Kelly & Belle have been stepping out to raise money to support Aucklander's access affordable mental health services. Over the weekend, Kelly was joined by Rio, her granddog, here's what he had to say...

Hi Pawrents,
It’s me. Rio. Survivor.
KoKo took me for a walk. She said “just a walk” but it was actually an EXPEDITION. Does she not realise my legs are only weeny??
4.21km. FOUR point TWO ONE. That is basically 42.10km in puppy maths.
I am now collapsed on the floor attempting to regain my breath and my dignity. Please refer to the attached photographic evidence: tongue fully hanging out, eyes saying I have seen things. KoKo said “good boy” but honestly… I was very close to death. VERY.
I will recover. Eventually. Probably.
Please bring sympathy (and snacks) when you return.
Love,
Your brave, exhausted, heroic boy
Rio x🐾x 🖤🖤🖤
(P.S. I am snoozing now. Do not disturb unless bacon is involved.)

Sometimes freedom isn’t loud or dramatic — it’s quiet.
It’s waking up and realising your chest doesn’t feel as tight today.
It’s noticing you’re not reacting the way you used to.
It’s feeling a tiny bit more like yourself.
That’s what happens when you have the right support.

And at Wingspan, that’s exactly what we’re here for.
Our counselling space is built around:
🌿 Gentle honesty
🌿 Genuine connection
🌿 Cultural safety and manaaki
🌿 Support that fits you — not the other way around

With the right support, you can experience:
More ease
More clarity
More strength
More freedom to be who you are becoming

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need a safe place to start.
👉 Reach out to book or kōrero about what support might look like for you.

There’s a certain kind of freedom that appears when you finally have the right support around you - the kind where you can exhale properly for the first time in ages.
When you’re carrying everything alone, life can feel tight, heavy, or stuck.
With the right counsellor beside you - someone who listens without judgement, who sees your strengths, who walks with you - things begin to shift.

At Wingspan, we create a space where you can:
🌱 Put your load down
🌱 Make sense of your feelings
🌱 Build confidence in your own voice
🌱 Experience moments of real, grounded freedom

That freedom doesn’t mean everything is fixed overnight.
It simply means you no longer have to do it alone.
If you’re ready for support that creates space, clarity, and breathing room — we’re here. 💛
